New York City!

Famous skyline.

We took the advice from friends

 and boarded the cruise from the New Jersey side,

which is less crowded, and headed to 

Ellis Island. 

Unbelievable what people had to endure

to immigrate to America. 

This museum is very emotional and well designed

 to accommodate the thousands of people 

that come here everyday. 

There she is!

Can't believe we made it to

the Statue of Liberty!

We drove around town to see some of the famous 

sites like the Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, 

Rockefeller Center, and the Empire State Building.

Had to have some New York Pizza from Brooklyn!

Thankfully, we picked up this pie

 because we were stuck in traffic for hours!

At least we had something to eat.

There are food stands on almost every corner. 

 One of the many ways to get around town.

St. Patrick's Cathedral

We are amazed that we survived driving in New York City 

without getting into an accident or hitting someone!

Talk about crazy drivers and 

pedestrians walking out in front of you against lights.

 Bicycles, rickshaws, scooters, weaving in and out of traffic, 

honking all the time, turning from the wrong lane.

Glad we made the effort but this is a one and done city for us!
